How Lawndale filers pay for bankruptcy
Paying for bankruptcy is usually easier than people expect. Our flat Chapter 7 fee can be paid over time before we file, on a schedule we put in writing. The court's $338 fee can be split into up to four payments within 120 days, and low-income filers can ask to have it waived. Many clients also use the money they had been sending to credit card companies, after checking with us first.
